It is important in planning a meal to consider the occupation of those 

 who are to eat it. We have heard so many arguments concerning pie, 

 that a striking illustration may be made of this point. For the individual 

 leading an inactive, sedentary life a rich pie may result in a deranged 

 digestion, for it is a concentrated food, but it may be an excellent food 

 for the man actively engaged in an out-of-door occupation. The trouble 

 is that often with a change of conditions we do not change our dietary 

 habits. This is particularly true of the farmer. At certain times in 

 the year he is accustomed to heavy out-of-door work and needs large 

 amounts of food to supply the energy expended. When he lessens his 

 work and still consumes the same kinds of food in the same amounts, 

 disorders frequently result.
